I know Paul played an Ampletheaters in the Chicago suburbs on the 1993 tour.
No, he did not. He did not play Chicago at all in 1993, and he's never played an amphitheatre in the Chicago area. Charlotte in 1993 may have been the last one he's played with lawn seating. Hollywood Bowl does qualify, but it doesn't have a lawn.
It was either 1989, 1990, or 1993. Tinley Park, IL.

Paul has never played in Tinley Park. (thank goodness, it is a horrible venue! ). and back to rumours, no, I haven't heard any new ones this week! Still waiting to see if any other shows materialize around Desert Trip.

Melbourne (Australia), Myer Music Bowl in 1975. That was rare because the plonker hasn't even set foot here in 23 years!!

When he played Las Vegas in 93, was that at an ampitheatre? 0r was it a stadium?

Nancy R:
Do you mean to say amphitheatre? We have one here in Atlanta like that, but Paul always plays Philips Arena. http://www.bing.com/search?q=lakewood+amphitheatre&form=PRHPCS&pc=HPDTDFJS&mkt=en-us&refig=a45f92c666f04c9a8ac5dcadf29cef2d&qs=LC&pq=lake&sc=8-4&sp=1&cvid=a45f92c666f04c9a8ac5dcadf29cef2d
Nancy if an amphitheatre has heaps of seating and lawn space it qualifies as an ampletheatre...

Someone tell Paul that there is land south of Little Rock and Washington! He hasn't played the south since 2014! He just played the northeast less than a year ago! Some places like Orlando, Austin, and Houston haven't seen Paul for roughly 3 to 4 years, while places like San Antonio haven't seen him for roughly 20 years. I'm sure Jacksonville, Atlanta, New Orleans and Memphis would be glad to see him again.

Wasn't it called the Sam Boyd Silver Bowl or something like that? I'm sure it has a different name now, that's if it still exists?!
-
Yes, it was called Sam Boyd Silver Bowl. I think it's just called Sam Boyd Stadium now.

That was the name then. I don't know if it really was a long way out of town or if it just seemed that way. I remember driving and driving, wondering if I was going to find it. Remember this was in the days before gps, etc. I was doing the LIPA ticket, which included sound check, so had to get there early. So no cars to follow.
-
Maccascruff, I too remember that it seemed a long way to get there from downtown Las Vegas. The parking lot was not even paved, at least where my friends and I parked. How did we all find our way around before GPS, internet etc? Got lost a lot, probably. Sorry, I suppose we ought to get back on topic - any tour rumors lately??
-
Is there any new rumours at all? As the announcement for the most recent one does say "Keep checking PaulMcCartney.com for further announcements." Has anyone heard anything?

It's been awfully quite on the rumour front! Is that it for the One on One announcements? Nothing more before or after The Desert Trip?? I was hoping for some more announcements for one or two shows around the end of September or early October before Sacramento??? Maybe Vegas or Denver or Edmonton (new arena)???? Anyone?????

No doubt he/they are just waiting to see who has the deepest pockets or the fattest wallet. That's the criteria.
